Start with the part of your day you’re dressing for. We reach for Real Me when a barely-there feel is the priority on low-impact days. Real Me XTRA adds a hint of compression for low- to medium-intensity workouts and errands. For medium-intensity movement, long walks, or hikes, The Hugger brings softness inside and out with gentle compression. Once you’ve picked your feel, check the specific legging for waistband and pocket details.
Put Your OFFLINE Outfit Together
Want a matching look? We like pairing the OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me High-Waisted Crossover Legging with the Real Me Square Neck Tank Top in eyelet blue. The tank has a built-in shelf bra and removable pads. For a different texture, try a Let’s Stretch Long Sleeve Cropped T-Shirt with your leggings. Its lightweight cotton-modal fabric has stretch, and the cropped length gives you another way to put your outfit together.
